I do not have green fingers but when we moved into A Happy Home, I decided to find a spot in our balcony for a mini indoor garden that will make us feel closer to nature. We bought a wooden shelf that fitted nicely into the small space we had and over time, we filled it up with small pots of plants, a mini greenhouse and a handful of terrariums.
The kids have shown a keen interest in keeping this garden going which is evident by how they would diligently remember to water the plants, clear away the weeds and clean up the fallen leaves. Having a landscape of plants, no matter how little, is a good way to improve patience, calm nerves and bring smiles. That said, out of everything we've tried to grow, my personal favourite goes to DIY terrariums! Not only are they extremely easy to maintain since they are self-sustaining ecosystems, they are also very fun to create and make a great opportunity for the family to bond.
In this Creativity 521 post, I will be sharing about our latest DIY terrarium from Masons Home Decor that kept us busy and happy for an afternoon as the kids and I built it up from scratch. Check out their big smiles at the end, I think they kind of sum up everything, don't they?
